Remember… to post comments you must register.
I ask for some information which for the most part is not displayed.
What is displayed is your username or screen name.
Hint: If you are stingy with information (which won’t be posted) the less likely I am to approve your registration on the spot. FWIW
Example… one person wrote in the personal blurb section: "… and the only sport that matters is baseball".
His registration was approved without delay.

since Sat., 25 Nov. 2006:
At one point before I successfully registered, it seemed to me that I had to register for a WordPress account, but I don’t think that’s true since the WordPress id/password did not work. The registration link is to the left above the “Make a Donation” button. I suppose it’s about time I use that button too.
This has nothing to do with registation but….I drank a wonderful cup of coffee out of my Save the Liturgy Save the World!” cup this morning. It has been a great day…coincidence???
4mercy: I did exactly the same! Nice, aren’t they?

HAHAHAHAHAHHA
at least now people know what the secret handshake is. :)
Hey, that was me!
Thanks, Father!
I’m glad to know you only care about the one sport that is poetry in motion, namely, baseball. The only concern I have is that I’m a rabid Yankees fan, and I worry that that will cause you to unregister me. At least you’re not a sox fan.
La Chaim!

Alfred: Good thing you didn’t include that I didn’t know you were a Yankees fan.
Hmmm… where is that delete button again…
Ack!..umm, sure, the yankees are a great team… but how bout them twins?
(to be fair, I don’t know your team. I’m guessing twins.)

At least you’re not a Mets fan!
Go Phils!!
I’m glad that I avoided the subject of baseball in my registration info.
No further comment.
